I don't know how to suppress it, but I think I know what it is. Some drivers generate PostScript that outputs status messages to the printer console device. (PostScript interpreters have these, although most actual printers don't have physical consoles.) If you were to use ghostview, for example, that same output would pop up in a console window. Also you'd see it in Acrobat Distiller. Anyway, it looks like magicfilter is taking that and lobbing on the end of your job. That's really the wrong thing to do. You might look into the configuration settings of magicfilter to see if you can customize what to do with that sort of output. This is the kind of thing where you might find a nice place to stick a 2>/dev/null and fix the problem. The suggestions from other to change to a different driver may fix the problem--depends on whether the application is telling the driver to put that stuff in or the driver is putting it in because it thinks it's a good idea.
